Mr. Cutie Pie

Oh, my Benjamin. You are so cute! 

This little boy smiles all the time and we adore him to pieces!

6 Little Monkeys Jumping on the Bed...

The best part about the holidays is the time we get to spend with family, near and far! The Swans invited us over for a Winter Solstice Party and the Hochards made it all the way from Colorado. The cousins had a blast running amock and muching on yummy food (thanks Kim!), while the grown ups had a chance to chat and enjoy some dinner.

At one point, all the cousins slowly trickled into the guest bedroom, where I was nursing baby B and were quite cute and goofy. Naturally, I grabbed my camera and managed to get them all together for a few photos.

Brand New Year

With the new year already here, I thought I'd be fashionably late and offer up a few photos of the kiddos in front of our tree the day before our whirlwind tour of Russell and Manhattan. 

We hope your Christmas was filled with sweetness, family, blessings and wonder.

May this year be more grace-filled and more hopeful than we ever could imagine.

Happy New Year from the Branicks!

Ollie & Ben

These two are going to be GREAT together. Albeit a little more ornery than I might be able to handle, but nonetheless, absolutely Fantastic.
